What an NDIS pricing update means for you
From time to time the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) reviews and updates the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits — the national document that sets the maximum prices for NDIS supports. With the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2026–27 now in force, here is a plain-language guide to what a pricing update is, who decides it, and what it does and doesn’t change for your plan.
What the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits are
The NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits is the national document, published by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA), that sets the maximum prices that can be charged for NDIS supports. It is the same document for every registered provider — including us — and the NDIA reviews and updates it from time to time, typically each 1 July.
The limits are set by the NDIA, not by any individual provider. Because the NDIA updates them, the official document is always the current, authoritative source — so it is the place to check the figures that apply, rather than any amount repeated on a provider’s website.
This guide reflects the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2026–27, which the NDIA put in force from 1 July 2026 — the official document linked above always holds the specific figures and price limits that apply.
- The NDIA sets the national price limits — every provider works within them.
- The arrangements are reviewed and updated from time to time, usually each 1 July.
- The NDIA’s official document is always the current source for the limits that apply.
We don’t restate specific prices or percentages on this page, because the NDIA updates them — the official document above always shows the limits that currently apply to you.
What a pricing update means for your plan
A price-limit update does not change the funding in your plan. The budget in your NDIS plan stays the same until your plan is next reviewed or reassessed. What can change is the maximum rate a provider may charge against that budget for a support — so the amount of support the same funding covers may change when the limits are updated.
If you’re not sure how an update affects your supports, it helps to look at your plan and your service agreements, and to ask your plan manager or support coordinator. You’re always welcome to contact our team to talk it through.
- An update on its own does not change the amount of funding in your plan.
- The rate charged for a support can change when the limits are updated.
- Your plan budget stays the same until your plan is reviewed or reassessed.
How self-, plan- and NDIA-managed plans are affected
The same national price limits apply whichever way your plan is managed — what differs is who handles the invoices and checks them against the current limits.
- Self-managed — you pay providers yourself, so it helps to check the current limits before you agree to a price.
- Plan-managed — your plan manager pays your providers and checks each invoice against the current limits for you. Plan management is one of the supports we offer, so you can read more on our plan management page.
- NDIA-managed — also called agency-managed — the NDIA pays your registered providers directly at the applicable limits.
The limits apply right across the supports we deliver — from everyday personal care through to supported independent living. We work with self-managed, plan-managed and NDIA-managed participants, so you can choose the arrangement that suits you.
